Jeremi 44
1 Tala liloba oyo Jeremi azwaki na tina na Bayuda oyo bazalaki kovanda na Ejipito, na se ya bingumba ya Migidoli, na Dafine, na Mefisi mpe na Patrosi:
The word that has been to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who are dwelling in the land of Egypt—who are dwelling in Migdol, and in Tahpanhes, and in Noph, and in the land of Pathros—saying,
2 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bomonaki pasi makasi oyo natindaki na Yelusalemi mpe na bingumba nyonso ya Yuda. Na mokolo ya lelo, etikali pamba mpe ebebisami makasi
“Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: You have seen all the calamity that I have brought in on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah, and behold, they [are] a desolation to this day, and there is none dwelling in them,
3 likolo ya mabe oyo basalaki. Bapesaki Ngai kanda tango bakomaki kotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka mpe kosalela banzambe mosusu oyo batikalaki koyeba te, ezala bango to bino to batata na bino.
because of their wickedness that they have done, by provoking Me to anger, by going to make incense, by serving other gods, that they did not know, they, you, and your fathers.
4 Nzokande, nazalaki tango na tango kotinda basali na Ngai, basakoli, mpo na koloba na bino: ‹ Bosala te makambo ya nkele oyo nayinaka. ›
And I send to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying, Please do not do this abomination that I have hated—
5 Kasi batikalaki koyoka te mpe batosaki te; batikaki mabe na bango te mpe bakobaki kaka kotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu.
and they have not listened nor inclined their ear to turn back from their wickedness, not to make incense to other gods,
6 Yango wana, kanda makasi na Ngai epelaki mpe ebebisaki bingumba ya Yuda mpe babalabala ya Yelusalemi; mpe lisusu ebukaki-bukaki yango ndenge ezali komonana lelo.
and My fury is poured out, and My anger, and it burns in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and they are for a ruin, for a desolation, as [at] this day.
7 Sik’oyo tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga mpe Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Mpo na nini bozali komimemela pasi ya makasi boye kino mokili ya Yuda ezangela mibali, basi, babebe mpe etikala lisusu ata na moto moko te?
And now, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Why are you doing great evil to your own souls, to cut off man and woman, infant and suckling, from you, from the midst of Judah, so as not to leave a remnant to you:
8 Mpo na nini bozali kopelisa kanda na Ngai na nzela ya misala na bino ya mabe, na kotumbaka malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu ya Ejipito epai wapi bokeyi kovanda? Bino moko nde bozali komibebisa mpe komikomisa bato ya libabe mpe eloko ya kotiola kati ya bikolo nyonso ya mokili.
by provoking Me to anger by the works of your hands, by making incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, to where you are going to sojourn, so as to cut yourselves off, and so as to your being for a reviling and for a reproach among all nations of the earth?
9 Bobosani mabe oyo batata na bino, bakonzi mpe basi ya bakonzi ya Yuda basalaki? Bobosani mabe oyo bino mpe basi na bino bosalaki kati na mokili ya Yuda mpe kati na babalabala ya Yelusalemi?
Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, that they have done in the land of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
10 Kino lelo, bamikitisi te, batosi Ngai te, batosi mibeko mpe malako na Ngai te, oyo napesaki bino mpe batata na bino.
They have not been humbled to this day, nor have they been afraid, nor have they walked in My law, and in My statutes, that I have set before you and before your fathers.
11 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Nazwi mokano ya komemela bino pasi mpe ya kobebisa mokili nyonso ya Yuda.
Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am setting My face against you for calamity, even to cut off all Judah,
12 Nakokanga batikali ya Yuda, ba-oyo batingamaki koya kovanda awa na Ejipito; bango nyonso bakokufa kati na Ejipito, na mopanga mpe na nzala makasi, kobanda na ye oyo aleki moke kino na ye oyo aleki monene; bakokufa na mopanga mpe na nzala makasi, mpe bakobanda kotangaka kombo na bango mpo na kolakela bato mabe; bakokoma eloko ya koyoka somo, eloko ya lisuma mpe eloko ya kotiola.
and I have taken the remnant of Judah, who have set their faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they have all been consumed in the land of Egypt; they fall by sword [and] are consumed by famine, from the least even to the greatest, they die by sword and by famine, and they have been for an execration, for an astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach.
13 Nakopesa bavandi ya Ejipito etumbu na mopanga, na nzala makasi mpe na bokono oyo ebomaka, ndenge napesaki Yelusalemi etumbu.
And I have seen after those dwelling in the land of Egypt, as I saw after Jerusalem, with sword, with famine, and with pestilence,
14 Kati na batikali ya Yuda oyo bayaki kovanda na Ejipito, moko te akobika to akotikala na bomoi, ata soki ayoki posa ya kozonga mpo na kovanda na mokili ya Yuda, bato moke kaka nde bakozonga. »
and there is not an escaped and remaining one of the remnant of Judah, who are entering into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, even to turn back to the land of Judah, to where they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell, for they do not turn back, except those escaping.”
15 Mibali nyonso oyo bayebaki ete basi na bango bazalaki kotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu, elongo na basi nyonso oyo bazalaki wana kati na lisanga monene mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kovanda na Ejipito ya se mpe ya likolo balobaki na Jeremi:
And they answer Jeremiah—all the men who are knowing that their wives are making incense to other gods, and all the women who are remaining, a great assembly, even all the people who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, in Pathros—saying:
16 — Te! Tokoyoka te makambo oyo ozali koyebisa biso na kombo ya Yawe.
“The word that you have spoken to us in the Name of YHWH—we are not listening to you;
17 Tokosala nde makambo nyonso oyo biso tokanaki kosala: tokotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka mpo na Ishitari mpe tokosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino mpo na ye ndenge biso, batata na biso, bakonzi na biso mpe bakalaka na biso tosalaki kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe na babalabala ya Yelusalemi; mpe na tango wana, tozalaki na bilei ebele, tozalaki malamu mpe tozalaki komona pasi te.
for we certainly do everything that has gone out of our mouth, to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our heads, in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and—we are satisfied with bread, and we are well, and we have not seen calamity.
18 Kasi wuta kaka tango totikaki kotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka mpe kosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino epai ya Ishitari, tozangela nyonso mpe tokoma kokufa na mopanga mpe na nzala makasi.
And from the time we have ceased to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, we have lacked all, and we have been consumed by sword and by famine,
19 Basi babakisaki: — Kutu, tango tozalaki kotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka mpe kosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino epai ya Ishitari, boni, mibali na biso bayebaki te ete tozali kosala bagato na elilingi na ye mpe kosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino epai na ye?
and when we are making incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out drink-offerings to her—have we made cakes for her to idolize her, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, without our husbands?”
20 Bongo Jeremi alobaki na bato nyonso, mibali mpe basi, oyo bapesaki ye eyano wana:
And Jeremiah says to all the people, concerning the men and concerning the women, and concerning all the people who are answering him, saying,
21 — Boni, bokanisi ete Yawe abosani mpe azali kokanisa lisusu te malasi ya ansa oyo botumbaki kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe na babalabala ya Yelusalemi, bino, batata na bino, bakonzi na bino, bakalaka na bino mpe bato nyonso ya mokili?
“The incense that you made in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your fathers, your kings, and your heads, and the people of the land, has YHWH not remembered it? Indeed, it comes up on His heart.
22 Yawe akokaki lisusu te kokanga motema liboso ya misala na bino ya mabe mpe ya nkele; ezali mpo na yango nde mokili na bino ekomi elanga ya libebi, etando ebebisama, eloko ya lisuma mpe etikali lisusu na bato te, ndenge ezali komonana na mokolo ya lelo.
And YHWH is not able to accept [you] anymore, because of the evil of your doings, because of the abominations that you have done, and your land is for a ruin, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, without inhabitant, as [at] this day.
23 Mpo ete botumbaki malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka mpe bosalaki masumu liboso ya Yawe, mpo ete botosaki Yawe te mpe bolandaki te Mobeko na Ye, bikateli na Ye mpe malako na Ye, yango wana pasi oyo ekomeli bino ndenge bozali komona yango lelo.
Because that you have made incense, and because you have sinned against YHWH, and have not listened to the voice of YHWH, and have not walked in His law, and in His statutes, and in His testimonies, therefore this calamity has met you as [at] this day.”
24 Jeremi alobaki na bato nyonso mpe epai ya basi nyonso: — Bino bato nyonso ya Yuda oyo bozali kati na Ejipito, boyoka Liloba na Yawe:
And Jeremiah says to all the people, and to all the women, “Hear a word of YHWH, all Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt:
25 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bino mpe basi na bino, bomonisi na nzela ya misala na bino elaka oyo bopesaki tango bolobaki: « Tokokokisa solo ndayi oyo tolapaki ete tokotumba malasi ya ansa mpe tokosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino epai ya Ishitari, nzambe mwasi ya bato ya Babiloni. » Bokende! Bosala ndenge bolobi mpe bokokisa ndayi na bino!
Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, You and your wives both speak with your mouth, and with your hands have fulfilled, saying, We certainly execute our vows that we have vowed, to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her. You certainly establish your vows, and certainly execute your vows.
26 Kasi mpo na yango, boyoka Liloba na Yawe, bino Bayuda nyonso oyo bozali kovanda kati na Ejipito: « Tala, nalapi ndayi na Kombo na Ngai ya monene, » elobi Yawe, « moto moko te oyo awuta na mokili ya Yuda, bongo avandi na esika songolo ya Ejipito, akobelela to mpe akolapa ndayi na Kombo na Ngai, na koloba: ‹ Lokola Nkolo Yawe azali na bomoi! ›
Therefore, hear a word of YHWH, all Judah who are dwelling in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by My great Name, said YHWH, My Name is no longer proclaimed by the mouth of any man of Judah, saying, Lord YHWH lives—in all the land of Egypt.
27 Pamba te nazali kolandela bango malamu mpo ete bamona pasi kasi bolamu te. Bato nyonso ya Yuda kati na Ejipito bakokufa na mopanga mpe na nzala makasi kino tango bango nyonso bakosila kobebisama.
Behold, I am watching over them for calamity, and not for good, and all the men of Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt have been consumed by sword and by famine, until their consumption.
28 Kaka ndambo moke ya bato nde ekobika na mopanga mpe ekozonga na mokili ya Yuda, wuta na Ejipito. Boye, batikali nyonso ya Yuda, ba-oyo nyonso bayaki kovanda na Ejipito, bakoyeba soki liloba ya nani nde ekokokisama: ya Ngai to ya bango.
And the escaped of the sword turn back out of the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, few in number, and all the remnant of Judah, who are coming into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, have known whose word is established, Mine or theirs.
29 Ekozala elembo ete nakopesa bino etumbu na esika oyo, » elobi Yawe, « mpo ete boyeba solo ete pasi oyo nalakaki bino ekokokisama kaka. »
And this [is] the sign to you—a declaration of YHWH—that I am seeing after you in this place, so that you know that My words are certainly established against you for calamity—
30 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Nakokaba Faraon Ofira, mokonzi ya Ejipito, na maboko ya banguna na ye oyo bazali koluka bomoi na ye, ndenge kaka nakabaki Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, na maboko ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, oyo azalaki koluka bomoi na ye. »
thus said YHWH: Behold, I am giving Pharaoh-Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those seeking his life, as I have given Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and who is seeking his life.”
